Uncomfortably augmented reality
Since I know a few of the nerds are playing with Augmented Reality in their sparse spare time, I’ve been keeping an eye out for extra-cool uses of this mind-blowing technology. Yesterday was double-plus bonus Augmented Reality day because I tripped over two posts.

First, Uncomfortably augmented reality. This is an art project that gives attendees a special badge and then pulls information about them from their Facebook status or Twitter feeds. Watch the video to see how people reacted to having their online ideas shared in their offline lives. I really like this one because it makes you consider some of the things you say online.
This second one is just cool fun, showing how to scratch a vinyl record without a turntable (more info on Laughing Squid).
